CHAPTER-1
Introduction
1.1
Introduction
M/s. Rainbow Papers Limited located at Survey No. 1453, Village:
Rajpur, Taluka: Kadi, Dist.: Mehsana in Gujarat state, is an existing
unit, engage in manufacturing of Kraft Paper, Duplex paper, poster
paper and News Print paper-14000 TPM and having Captive power
generation facilities with rated capacity of 15 MW.
Now,
management
is
envisaging
increasing
Power
generation
capacity to 50 MW by adding 35 MW in two phases (20 MW power
generation in Phase-1 & 15 MW power generation in Phase-2) to
fulfill the present market demands on same process route. The
management is engaged in manufacturing activities since last long
time and has a wide experience in the similar field.
1.2
Purpose & Need of E.I.A
Environmental Impact Assessment (E.I.A) is a formal document
provided by the project proponent and preferably prepared by an
independent consultant, which summarizes the process and results of
the environmental analysis of a project having the potential for
significant and diverse impacts. Environmental analysis is the process
of evaluating the environmental impact of a project and identifying
ways
to
improve
the
project
environmentally
by
preventing,
minimizing, mitigating and or compensating for adverse impacts.
M/s. Rainbow Papers Limited falls under the category of 1(d) of
schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 “Thermal Power Plants” and
categorized
under
“B”.
Therefore,
units
require
Environmental
Clearance of the proposed expansion project.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited

San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
In view of the above monitoring work has been carried out for all the
environmental attributers by M/s. San Envirotech Pvt. LtdAhmedabad.
The Environmental (Protection) Act-1986 (Environmental Impact
Assessment Notification, 2006) established the requirements for
preparing Environmental Impact Assessment (E.I.A) in India. The
EIAs subsequently have been prepared, on an individual basis for
each new/development project. While the project specific EIAs have
been
successful
to
varying
extent
in
the
incorporation
of
environmental objectives in the project design, several experiments
have been done to address the issue of cumulative environmental
impacts by carrying out Regional Environmental Impact studies. This
has given a basis for evaluating total environmental impacts of the
region and hence helped in planning at the regional level. Other uses
of EIA tool have been in the Strategic Environmental Assessment
(SEA), now mandatory in many industrialized countries, to evaluate
environmental impacts of policies and programs. Hence, EIA tool has
been improvised and used innovatively for assisting decision-makers
in assessment of environmental impacts and considering alternative
mitigation measures in a variety of situations.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required to be carried out
only for certain categories of projects and the criteria for screening
have been provided in the Act. Thus, EIA is essentially made
applicable to industrial and developmental projects, which are more
likely to have significant environmental impacts. Different criteria
have been used for screening. Indian regulation utilizes project
category based on the Scale of Impact, Sensitivity of Impact and
Nature of locations as the primary criteria for deciding on the
requirement of EIA for approval.

Defining all the possible aspects of the environment is essential for
identification of potential impacts. This may cover features of the
environment (e.g. habitats, settlements, and historic sites), aspects
of environmental quality (e.g. air quality, water quality, physical
conditions, soil stability, and hydrology) and uses of the environment
(e.g. agriculture, recreation and fishing).

•
Cooling tower and cooling water pumps for lube oil cooler and
other Auxiliaries.
•
D.M. plant for boiler feed water.
A thermal power plant is an energy conversion center that converts
the heat of coal to electricity, designed on a large scale for continuous
operation.
The feed water used in the steam boiler is a means of transferring
heat energy from the burning coal fuel to the mechanical energy of the
spinning steam turbine. The total feed water consists of re-circulated
condensed steam, referred to as condensate, from the steam turbines
plus purified makeup water. Because the metallic materials it contacts
are subject to corrosion at high temperatures and pressures, the
makeup water is highly purified before use in D. M. Water plant. The
boiler has a rectangular furnace. Its walls are made of a web of high
pressure steel tubes.
Coal is prepared for use in boiler by crushing the rough coal to pieces
less than 6 mm in size. Prepared coal is air-blown into the furnace
from fuel nozzles and it is combusted in such a manner that maximum
combustion efficiency can be achieved. This heats the water that
circulates through the boiler tubes. The water circulation rate in the
boiler is three to four times the throughput and is typically driven by
pumps. As the water in the boiler circulates it absorbs heat and
changes into steam. It is separated from the water inside a drum at
the top of the furnace. The saturated steam is introduced into
superheat pendant tubes that hang in the hottest part of the
combustion gasses as they exit the furnace. Here the steam is
superheated to required temperature to prepare it for the turbine.
The turbine generator consists of a steam turbine, Gear Box,
Generator, Condenser, Steam ejectors, Condensate extraction system,
to generate the required power.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited

San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd.-Ahmedabad
The generator contains a stationary stator and a spinning rotor, having
magnetic properties produce electricity when it is rotated by Turbine.
The electricity thus produced is used to run the various equipments.
The required steam for process is being drawn from turbine at required
pressure and the balance exhaust steam from the low pressure turbine
enters condenser-tube bundles that have cooling water circulating
through them. Typically the cooling water causes the steam to
condense.
From the bottom of the condenser, powerful pumps recycle the
condensed steam (water) back to the feed water heaters for reuse.
The heat absorbed by the circulating cooling water in the condenser
tubes must also be removed to maintain the ability of the water to cool
as it circulates. This is done by pumping the warm water from the
condenser through either natural draft, forced draft or induced draft
cooling towers that reduce the temperature of the water, by
evaporation. As the combustion flue gas exits the boiler it is routed
through a rotating flat basket of metal mesh which picks up heat and
returns it to incoming fresh air as the basket rotates, This is called the
air pre-heater. The gas exiting the boiler is laden with fly ash, which
are tiny spherical ash particles. The fly ash is removed by electrostatic
precipitators to achieve exhaust gas quality as required by the statute.

The details of the flue gas stacks are given in Table No. 2.8.
2.17.2 Effluent Generation
Existing effluent generation is around 400 KLD only from power plant
including the entire source. The main source of liquid waste will be
from raw water treatment and utilities.
The wastewater after treatment will be recycled in paper mill.
The other source of wastewater generation is domestic wastewater of
5 KLD which is disposed off through septic tank/soak pit system.
After proposed expansion, effluents generated from utilities with
raw water treatments, RO rejects/DM reject & boiler blow down will be
of 880 KLD. The effluent will be neutralized by adding either acid or
alkali to obtain required pH concentration in the neutralizing pit and
finally utilize for paper making activities in the paper plant.
Sewage generation will be 10 KLD, which will be conveyed through
separate drains to a septic tank before being discharged into soak pit.
2.17.3 Hazardous/Solid waste
The existing sources of solid/hazardous waste generation from
industrial activities are ETP, Waste/residue & Sludge, Waste/Residue,
discarded containers and used oil.
After expansion, the plant is expected to produce Fly Ash which is
around 167 TPD including existing Ash generation. In addition to this,
unit will also produce discarded containers and Used Lubricating oil
from the material handling and storage and plant & machinery.
The details of the hazardous waste are given Table-2.10.

Chapter 3
Baseline Environmental Status
3.1
Prelude
Any developmental activities related to industrial sector are expected
to cause impacts on environmental quality in surrounding area of the
respective project locations. However, the intensity of environmental
impacts from a specific project depends on several factors such as
type of process (Physical, Chemical, fuel combustion etc.) involved in
the project, processing capacity (scale/size of the project), type and
extent of pollution control measures, project location, surrounding
geomorphology demography, quality of life, etc.
To assess environmental impacts from proposed project at a specific
location,
it
is
essential
to
monitor
the
environmental
quality
prevailing in the surrounding area prior to implementation of the
proposed project. The environmental status within the impact zone
could be used for identification of significant environmental issues to
be addressed in the impact assessment study.
The
impacts
from
an
industrial
project
on
its
surrounding
environment are mainly regulated by the nature of pollutants, their
quantities discharged to the environment, existing environmental
quality, assimilative capacity of the surrounding environment and
topography and terrain of the project site (its location) as well as the
surrounding area.
In order to identify and establish the extent of likely impacts, it is
essential to gather information on existing environmental quality with
regard to various components of the environment.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
3-1
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
3.2
Air Environment
The impact on air environment would depend and has been identified
on the basis of identification of sources of air pollution from various
process operations; the nature of pollutants and their quantities likely
to be discharged to the atmosphere; and the baseline data on air
quality.
The baseline data on air quality and micrometeorological conditions
of the area surrounding the project site have been generated through
an appropriately designed network for monitoring of Ambient Air
Quality (NAAQ) within the zone of likely impacts.
3.2.1 Design of Network for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations
The following criteria were taken into account while designing the
ambient air quality-monitoring network:
ƒ
Topography / Terrain of the study area
ƒ
Populated areas within the region
ƒ
Prediction of maximum concentrations and distances of their
likely occurrence under prevailing meteorological conditions
ƒ
Representation of regional background
ƒ
Representation of valid cross sectional distribution in downwind
direction
3.2.2 Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance survey was undertaken to establish the baseline
status of air environment in the study region. The prime objective of
the NAAQ survey, within 10 km radial study area around the plant
was to establish the existing ambient air quality levels. Six Ambient
Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were selected based on the
criteria used for designing the network. The locations (relative
directions and distances) of these stations with respect to project site
are given in Figure 3.6 and details of these stations are described in
Table 3.1.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
3-2
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
The Particulate Matter (PM10), Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur
Dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) were identified as
significant parameters for ambient air quality monitoring, particularly
because these are likely to be emitted from the industries and for
which ambient air quality standards are prescribed.
The
micrometeorological
data
on
wind
speed,
wind
direction,
temperature and relative humidity were collected through a weather
monitoring station for the study period. The baseline status of air
quality was monitored within the study area i.e. 10 Km radial
distance from project site as per the latest regulatory guidelines.
3.2.3 Micrometeorology of the Area
The micrometeorological conditions at the project site will regulate
the transport and diffusion of air pollutants released into the
atmosphere. The principle meteorological variables are horizontal
convective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical
convective transport (atmospheric stability, mixing height) and
topography of the area.
The data on surface meteorological parameters (hourly average wind
speed and direction) in the study area were collected in the month of
January-11 to March-11 using portable weather monitoring station
placed at the industry. The sensors of this equipment were kept at
about 10 m above ground level with free exposure to the atmosphere
all through the study period in winter season. In addition, data on
temperature
as
well
relative
humidity
were
also
recorded
simultaneously using a data logger.
Wind Rose
The 24 hourly wind rose was prepared using the data on wind
direction and speed collected for winter season in the study area. The
same, as depicted in Figure 3.7, shows the predominant wind
directions are N, NE, NNE, NNW & ENE implying that winds come
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
3-3
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
from these directions for most of the time during the period. The
wind speed class 1-5 kmph occurred for 33.0 % and 6-10 kmph is
17.7 %, 11-15 kmph is 10.8 %, 16-20 is 3.2 % and more than 20
kmph is observed around 0.0 % of the time during study period. The
calm condition (below 1 kmph) observed is 35.3 % of the time. The
local prevailing wind pattern during the study period is in conformity
with the climatologically normal of the region. The average wind
speed recorded is 4.2 kmph during the study period (Jan-11 to
March-11).
Temperature
During the study period the maximum and minimum temperatures
recorded at project site were recorded as 32.50C and 9.80C
respectively.
Relative Humidity
At project site during study period, the maximum relative humidity
was recorded as 69.5% and minimum as 10.2%.
Rainfall
For the study, period rainfall observed nil.
Seismisity:
The area falls under III seismic zone and of intensity VII, which
indicates it, is moderately earthquake prone zone.

3.2.4 Ambient Air Quality Survey
The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at 6 AAQM
locations, with a frequency of twice a week continuously for three
months
i.e.
January-11
to
March-11,
to
assess
the
existing
sub-regional air quality status in winter season. The Respirable Dust
Sampler and Fine Particulate Sampler along with the analytical
methods prescribed by CPCB were used for carrying out air quality
monitoring. At all these sampling locations; PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and
NOx were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable the comparison
with ambient air quality standards prescribed by the Central Pollution
Control Board.
The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for
different
deviation,
statistical
minimum
parameters
and
like
maximum
arithmetic
mean,
concentration
and
standard
various
percentile values.
3.2.5 Baseline Status
The existing baseline levels with respect to PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and NOx
are presented in Tables 3.2 to 3.6 with interpretation of statistical
analysis of observed ambient air quality data for six locations.
Presented results, represent the cross sectional distribution of
baseline air quality status of the study region.
Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM10 values at all
the locations ranged between 57-67 μg/m3 and 63-77 μg/m3 whereas
the stipulated standards of CPCB for industrial areas 100 μg/m3.
Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly concentrations of
PM2.5 value at all the locations ranged between 38-43 μg/m3 and 4349 μg/m3 respectively. The stipulated standard of PM2.5 for industrial
area is 60 μg/m3.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
3-5
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of
arithmetic mean at all the locations ranged between 15-21 μg/m3
and 17-24 μg/m3 respectively, which are well within the stipulated
standards of 80 μg/m3 for industrial areas.
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24 hourly NOx value of
arithmetic mean at all the locations ranged between 15-23 μg/m3
and 17-27 μg/m3 respectively, which are much lower than the
standards stipulated by CPCB for industrial areas (i.e. 80 μg/m3).
3.2.6 Identification of Impacts
The identification of impacts with regard to air environment involves
a careful consideration of all the major process operations, burning of
fuel required for generating the energy in terms of steam and/or
electricity and other activities that may lead to generation and
discharge of air pollutants to the atmosphere.
The main source of air pollution will be flue gas emission. The flue
gas emission will be from the boilers where Coal/Lignite will be used.
However, adequate air pollution control measures will provide to
meet gaseous emission norms recognized by GPCB.
3.3
Water Environment
Water Environment of an area is broadly classified into following
categories
1. Surface waters: Rivers, drains, canal, ponds etc.
2. Ground water: Accumulation in deeper strata of ground

Noise Environment
3.4.1 Introduction
Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech
and hearing and is intense enough to damage hearing or is otherwise
annoying. The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies that it
has an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise
can also disturb natural wildlife and ecological system.
Sound is mechanical energy from a vibrating surface, transmitted by
cyclic series of compression and rarefaction of molecules of the
materials through which it passes. Sound can be transmitted through

gases,
liquids
and
solids.
The
number
of
compressions
and
refractions of the air molecules in the unit of time is described as its
frequency. Frequency is expressed in hertz (Hz), which is the same
as the number of cycles per second.
3.4.2 Methodology
To understand the noise environment in the study area, a survey was
conducted using Sound Level Meter at each of the eight locations, is
shown in Figure 3.9.
3.4.3 Day-Time and Night-Time Noise Levels
Noise survey was carried out once at each of the eight locations in
the day-and nighttime during the study period. Table 3.10 depicts
Lday, Lnight, Lday-night noise levels for all locations.
3.4.4 Ambient Air Quality Standards in Respect of Noise
Ministry of Environment and Forest has notified the ambient
standards in respect of noise in Gazette of India dated 14 February,
2000. Table 3.11 depicts these standards in respect of noise.
3.4.5 Ambient Noise Levels in the Study Area
The Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between
55.7 to 63.8 dB (A). Highest Ld value was recorded at Bus stop
Laxmanpura (63.8 dB (A)). While the Leq values of noise levels during
night time (Ln) varied between 46.3 to 52.6 dB (A). Highest Ln value
was again recorded at Primary School Rajapur (52.6 dB (A)).
3.4.6 Conclusions
The hourly Leq noise levels recorded at various locations in the study
area show considerable fluctuations because of changes in traffic
movement, commercial and domestic activities in the study area.
Generally noise levels in public places like hospital, temples and Bus
stop have higher values in day time as per Residential area limit of
55 dB (A) but it is less than Commercial area limit of 65 dB (A).

Soil Environment
3.5.1 Introduction
Soils may be defined as a thin layer of earth’s crust that serves as a
natural medium for the growth of plants. It is the unconsolidated
mineral matter that has been subjected to and influenced by genetic
and environmental factors. Soils serve as a reservoir of nutrients for
plants and crops and provide mechanical anchorage and favorable
tilth.
The study area has alluvial sandy loam soil locally known as Goradu
(or Gorat) or Bhatta. Goradu are nothing but alluvial soils of older
origin while Bhatta soils are of recent origin deposited chiefly along
the banks of river. The soils of this group are moderately deep, well
drained, calcareous fine soils on very gently sloping alluvial plain with
slight erosion and moderate salinity; associated with deep, moderate
well drained, calcareous, fine soils with moderate erosion.
The study area has alluvial sandy loam soil with the following
physical and chemical characteristics.
3.5.2 Soil Characteristics
Samples of soils were done at 5 locations (Industry, Village Irana,
Jhulasan, Dhanot, Ghumasan) during the study period and these
locations are shown in Figure 3.10.
The values of important physical and chemical parameters of these
soil samples are depicted in Table 3.12. From the tabulated values,
the following conclusions can be made about the physical and
chemical characteristics of these soil samples.

have forced him to encroach on natural vegetation i.e. forests. Even
the open areas left for plantation/green cover at times have been
occupied by encroachers/slums resulting in stress on environment
3.6.3 Terrestrial Wild Life
Because of being in arid/semi arid zone and lack of well developed
forest cover, the study area lacks in mammalian life and is the home
of dry, scrub jungle loving animals, best suited to the climate of arid
and open land. Avifauna and reptiles found in the study area and
area around it. This is compiled on the basis of sighting during field
survey in the area and also from the information collected from
villagers and forest personnel working in the area.
3.6.4 Fauna
Table 3.14 depicts the zoological name and abundance rating of wild
animals found in the study area and its adjoining area.

SOCIO ECONOMIC & LAND USE
3.7.1 Land use pattern and infrastructure
The land use pattern indicates the manner in which different parts of
land in an area is being utilized or non-utilized. It is an important
indicator of environmental health; human activity and a degree of
inter play between these two. Even though the soil quality, water
availability and climate have strong influence on agriculture and
vegetation, the human activity may alter the natural environment to
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited

a large extent to suit human needs. Unnatural land use often triggers
rapid environmental deterioration and disturbs ecological balance.
In census records, major land use classifications are; Forests,
Culturable land, culturable wasteland and area not available for
cultivation. Culturable land is further classified as: irrigated and
unirrigated. Area not available for cultivation includes lands put to
non-agriculture uses as well as barren and uncultivable lands.
The main land use in area is for dwellings, infrastructure and related
activities. However the land use pattern for rural areas is discussed
below. The information is preliminary based on 2001 Census as
depicting in Table 3.16.
3.7.2 Demographic and Socio-Economic Environment
The demographic and Socio-economic details of the study area are
discussed below. These are primarily based on provisional 2001
census data. Data on number of households, population as well as
literacy and employment pattern in the study area have been
presented in Table-3.17. The employment pattern in the area is
indicator of number of persons employed in various sectors. It also
indicates the various categories of employment flourishing in the
area.
3.7.3 Living Standard and Infrastructure
In India it is not possible to setup a primary standard of living
because of wide variations in terms of income, economic conditions,
social custom, employment opportunity, pattern of spending, etc.
However, availability of amenities like education, medical, water
supply, communication, road network, electricity, etc. significantly
reflects the level of development of the area. Information on
available amenities in the study zones has been extracted from
census record of 2001. Study zone has 38 villages. On the basis of
data presented in the Table-3.18, the status of available amenities
is discussed in following sub-sections:

Anticipated Environmental Impacts
& Mitigation Measures
4.1
GENERAL
Predicting the net contribution on overall qualitative environmental
indicators require environmental impact assessment study for the
proposed units. Prediction of impacts is an important component in
environmental impact assessment process. Several techniques and
methodologies are in vogue for predicting the impacts due to existing
and proposed industrial development on physical, chemical, biological
and socio-economic components of environment. Such predictions
delineate contribution in existing baseline condition for the proposed
project. The additional impacts due to proposed activities are
analyzed keeping in mind the baseline status. This helps assess the
assimilative capacity of the environment and in turn the gravity of
the impacts. Depending on the nature of the impact, suitable
management plans are devised.
As such it becomes important to estimate the peak incremental
concentrations of gaseous pollutants caused due to the emissions
from the proposed expansion of captive power plant of Rainbow
Papers. Chapter 2 of this report discusses the pollution sources from
the proposed plant.
Mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe the
cause-effect relationship between source of pollution and different
components of environment.
4.2
IMPACT DURING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION PHASE
The impact assessment has been addressed for the following
attributes, which may get affected due to the proposed activities of
the project.

•
Impact on aquatic ecology
IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY
The project activities include excavation of soil in the plant area and
construction of the plant and storage facilities. The area of the plant
is flat. Very minor or no Leveling would be required for the
construction for the proposed expansion of captive power plant. No
tree plantation affected because expansion will be in established plan
area. During the construction, excavated soil will be restored to its
original shape. Thus the impact during the construction is reversible,
for short terms and insignificant. During the operation phase of the
project, no impact is envisaged on the topography.
4.4
AIR ENVIRONMENT
4.4.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The source of air emission during the construction will include dust
from site cleaning and construction activity and dust from excavation
of the plant area. These emissions are expected to result in change in
baseline air quality, primarily in the working area only. Dust and
other emissions are not likely to spread in wider area, which would
affect homes and other properties. Dust will generate within working
areas and measures will need to taken to protect workers. To
mitigate the impact due to Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM),
regular sprinkling of the water will be done along with the
construction activities.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited

San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
4.4.2 OPERATIONAL PHASE
In the present study, the mathematical model that has been used for
predictions on air quality includes steady state Gaussian Plume
Dispersion model designed for multiple point sources.
The impacts on air quality from any project depend on various
factors like design capacity, configuration, process technology, raw
material, fuel to be used, air pollution control measures, operation
and maintenance. Apart from the above, other activities associated
with any project, viz., transportation of raw materials and finished
products, storage facilities and material handling within the plant
premises may also contribute to air pollution.
4.4.3 SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION
The fuel consumption details are given in Table 4.1. In the proposed
captive power plant, point sources emitting gaseous pollutants
include the stacks from Boilers of captive power plant. Height of
stacks will be 85 meters. The stack height is considered from ground
level. The major air pollutants, identified from this industry, are SPM,
SO2 and NOx.
4.4.4 EMISSIONS
In the operational Lignite/Coal is being used in the boilers. Ratio of
Fuel of Coal to Lignite will be (40:60). Similar types of stacks were
monitored to get the information about emission characteristics
including the emission rates of SPM, SO2 and NOx. The emission
rates of SPM, SO2 and NOx & stack details for the CPP are presented
in Table 4.2. Where as Table 4.3 show GPCB Stack emission
standards details for Industry.
4.4.5 DISPERSION
MODELLING
PROPOSED PLANT
OF
EMISSIONS
FROM
THE
The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the ground level
concentration during the operation of proposed plant and its impact
on ambient air quality of the area. The ground level concentrations of
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
4-3
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
pollutants have been computed using computer simulation model
Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST-3) of United State
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and considering guidelines
stipulated by CPCB for air pollution dispersion modeling.
The key emissions from the proposed plant will be emissions of,
suspended particulate matter (SPM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and
nitrogen oxide (NOx).
4.4.6 METHODOLOGY
Prediction of GLC values are made by using Industrial Source
Complex Short Term Model Version–3 (ISCST-3) software approved
by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This model uses a
steady
state,
sector-averaged
Gaussian
plume
equation
for
application in complex terrain (i.e. terrain stack or release height)
and is run using stability classes developed by Pasquill and Gifford.
Following are the assumptions made while using the model:
- No dry and wet depletion of pollutants
- Receptors are on flat terrain with no flag pole
Data Used for Computation
Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of short-term
incremental GLC values of SPM, SO2, NOx, using the one season
meteorological data collected at site during January-11 to March-11.
Details of the data used for computations are given below:
Source Characteristics/Release Characteristics
The details of estimated stack emissions load are given in Table 4.2.
Meteorological Parameters
Hourly meteorological data collected at site for the period of January11 to March-11 have been used for computing the meteorological
parameters.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited

San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
Dispersion Modeling Results
The 24 hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) values from
proposed expansion have been computed for SPM, SO2 and NOx,
considering topographical features around the proposed plant and
applicable stability classes. The maximum 24 hourly average GLC
values for SPM, SO2 and NOx, from proposed plant are given in Table
4.4 to Table 4.6. Corresponding isopleths plotted are shown in
Figure 4.1 to Figure 4.3 for SPM, SO2 and NOx.
It may be noted from the computed results presented in Table 4.4
that highest 24–hourly incremental GLC value for SPM, SO2 & NOx
are 3.245 µg/m3, 2.636 µg/m3 and 0.608 µg/m3 respectively is
occurred at a distance of 1.414 km in North-East direction.
For stable stability conditions (night time), the plume rise will be very
high and dispersion will be very poor and plume will not touch ground
level even at extremely large distance. At any wind velocity, the
concentration peak shifts from short distance for extremely unstable
stability condition to longer distance for neutral stability condition,
increase
in
average
wind
velocity
results
in
the
shifting
of
concentration peaks towards lower distances for any specified
atmospheric stability condition due to decrease in plume rise.
Since the predicted 24 –hourly incremental GLC values are at full
load operation added together with the background levels of SPM,
SO2 and NOx remain well below the 24 –hourly ambient air quality
standards for SO2 & NOx (80 μg/m3) and PM10 (100 μg/m3), the
operation of proposed plant is not likely to cause any significant
impact on the ambient air quality of the study area.
4.5
WATER ENVIRONMENT
Impact on water environment due to the proposed expansion of
captive power plant project will be,
1. Due to demand for raw water
These are discussed below:
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
4-5
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
4.5.1 Water Demand
Construction phase
During the construction activities required quantity of water will be
drawn from existing bore well. The quantity of water is very small
quantity hence there will be no significant impact on the ground
water. No disposal of construction waste outside the plant and no
leaching are anticipated.
Operational Phase
Water shall be required during operation of the captive power plant
for following purposes:
‰
Domestic use
‰
Process water
‰
Cooling/Chilling
‰
Boiler
‰
Green belt
Raw water requirement for, proposed expansion of Rainbow paper
will be met from surface water to be provided by Sardar Sarovar
Narmada Nigam Limited. However efforts have to be made to
conserve water as much as possible. Also Chapter 5 proposes some
additional
mitigation
measures
to
minimise
the
raw
water
consumption. In view of these factors the impact on water
environment due to water use is assessed to be insignificant.
4.5.2 Wastewater Generation & utilization
Rainbow paper will be utilized all the generated wastewater from
utilities of power plant to paper making activities. The unit is paper
producing unit from waste paper and concept of 100% recycling of
waste water is adopted by the unit as per the cleaner technology and
CPCB guideline for paper industries.
However to improve the quality of water for recycling of wastewater
generated from paper production, unit has put up a primary and
secondary
treatment
plant.
Presently
unit
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
is
reusing
4-6
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
untreated/primary treated/secondary treated as per the quality
requirement at different stage of paper process.
4.5.3 Impact on Water Environment
The water environment consists of surface and ground water
resources. The study area has no surface water body.
Proposed Rainbow papers plant effluents will be treated in two
stages. Entire quantity of effluent is recycling in process. Hence
insignificant impact on water body.
4.5.4 Impact on Ground water
The water required during the operation phase is made available
from groundwater. The ground water requirement will be met by an
existing bore well of industry. The industry has proposed recharge
rainwater during the rainy season. The details are prescribed in
Chapter-5 of Environmental Management Plan.
4.6
NOISE LEVEL IMPACT
4.6.1 Construction Phase
The noise produced during construction may have significant impact
on the existing ambient noise levels. The major work will be carried
out during the daytime. The construction equipment may generate
high noise, which can affect the personnel operating the machines.
Use of proper personal protective equipments will mitigate any
adverse impact of noise generated by such equipment.
The noise level in the working environment is compared with
standards prescribed by ISO 3746. The acceptable limit for each shift
being of 8-hour duration, the equivalent noise level exposure during
the shift is 90 dB(A). Hence noise generation due to excavation may
affect workers, if equivalent 8 hours exposure is more then the
safety limit. The noise level likely to be generated during excavation,
loading, transportation of construction materials will be in the range
of 70-90 dB(A) and this will occur only when
operate
together
and
simultaneously.
This
all the equipment
will
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
be

San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
possibility. The worker in general are likely to be exposed to an
equipment noise level of 80-90 dB(A) in an 8 hour shift for which all
statutory precautions as per lows will be taken into consideration.
4.6.2 Operational Phase
The main sources of noise within the plants are: Steam turbine,
boiler, Air compressors and transferring pumps. Suitable noise
control system will be provided to ensure that noise at the ventilation
openings does not exceed 90 dB (A) at 1 m distance in conformity
with ISO 3746. The noise level shall, however, exceed the above
limits for a short period during start-up of power plant. To reduce the
impact of noise from power plant, earplugs will be provided to the
workers. The continuous source of noise during plant operation will
be boilers, transferring pumps and string equipment of reactors. The
other sources of noise are the movement of vehicles along the road.
The typical industrial noise sources are given in Table 4.7 and
details of damage risk criteria for hearing loss on the basis of OSHA
are given in Table 4.8.
The results of monitoring carried out in the region have been
presented in Chapter 3. The permissible levels in the ambient
environment are presented in Chapter 3. The results are below the
standards prescribed for Industrial environment. It can be concluded
that the impact on noise environment will be long term but
insignificant. The noise standards specified by regulations shall be
met.
The
mitigation
measures
being
followed/proposed
for
minimising impacts on noise quality are provided in chapter 5.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The disposal of solid waste that will be generated in the process and
ETP is mainly Fibers which are reuse in next cycle of process.
Biological sludge which ever will be use as manure in green belt in
plant premises. Other waste like Heavy foreign material, Saleable
Plastic & Straps etc which is sale to recycles.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC
IMPACTS:
CONSTRUCTION
&
OPERATIONAL PHASE
The construction will be within the existing plant premises. Land is
already in possession. Therefore no displacement of person is
envisaged.
The plant is requiring educated and trained manpower & unskilled
manpower. The surrounding area has got good educational facilities
at Ahmedabad.
However, some persons with requisite experience may come from
outside also, but most of them may stay at Ahmedabad.
The operation of the proposed plant requires a workforce of 200-250
persons. Some immigration may takes place but the same will be so
small that its impact on demography of the area will be insignificant.
In view of the above the overall impacts on socio-economic
environment due to the proposed plant are long term and positive in
nature.
4.9
ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS
4.9.1 Effect on Plants
The area around Rainbow plant has a dense growth of vegetation
around it. Various trees, shrubs and herbs are found around it, a list
of which is given in Chapter 3. None of the plants are in the list of
Endangered Plant Species.
The high Stomatal Index of Azadirachta indica, makes them
susceptible to SO2. However, the SO2 emissions from the industry
will be well within limits. Hence, no major adverse impact is expected
on these plants with the increased emissions. NOx is less damaging
to plants. Vegetation injury such as marginal necrosis is anticipated
only in localized regions immediately adjacent to excessive industrial
sources. In the proposed context, the levels of NOx emission are not
very high.

The high SPM levels may harm leaves by blocking stomata and thus
interfering with exchange of gases during photosynthesis and
respiration and also cause abrasion of plant surfaces when the wind
blows. But the site is not subjected to high-speed winds and the
plants can be expected to be free from any major impacts of SPM on
plants.

Environment Management Plan
5.1
INTRODUCTION
Assessment of environmental and social impacts arising due to
implementation of the proposed project activities is at the technical
heart of EIA process. An equally essential element of this process is
to develop measures to eliminate, offset, or reduce impacts to
acceptable levels during implementation and operation of projects.
The integration of such measures into project implementation and
operation
is
supported
by
clearly
defining
the
environmental
requirements within an Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
Normally, potential impacts are identified early during the initiation of
project, and measures to avoid or minimize impacts are incorporated
into the alternatives being considered. In this respect, some of the
most important measures to protect the environment and local
communities become integral to the project design, and may not be
reflected in a formal EMP.
Rainbow by way of EIA study propose to identify all the likely
potential impacts, collect data information and incorporate all the
measures necessary to avoid or minimize impacts on surrounding
environment. Many of the mitigation measures are in place. It is
desirable to collect even such information in the EMP to facilitate

ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
DURING
CONSTRUCTION
PHASE
Since the proposed expansion project of M/s. Rainbow Papers Ltd.
Captive power plant will be carried out in the existing premises,
construction activities will be required only for the installation of new
plant and machineries. Hence, there will be some adverse impacts on
the quality of air and water but, this will not cause adverse effects on
the surrounding atmosphere. No disposal of construction waste
outside the plant and no leaching are anticipated. The impact will be
temporary and negligible. The construction activities for installation
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
5-3
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
work shall generate noise and dust within working areas. Therefore,
measures will be taken to protect workers.
In order to mitigate the adverse environment impacts during the
construction phase, regular sprinkling of the water will be done.
Construction phase results in temporary environmental pollution
except for the permanent change in local land use pattern and
aesthetics, in certain cases. Such pollution is mainly due to site
preparation, civil works, transportation, storage & handling of
different
kinds
of
materials
including
inflammable/hazardous
materials, construction workers’ sanitation etc. These are usually
short-term impacts as compared to those during operational phase.
5.5
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING OPERATION PHASE
To mitigate the problems related to health, safety and environment,
an
appropriately
designed
Environmental
Management
Plan
is
suggested. The EMP is designed covering all applicable standards or
norms prescribed for regulatory and safety viewpoint, however,
management will take due course to review the EMP in line with the
prevailing norms in totality from time to time.
The EMP involves steps proposed to be taken by the project
proponent to meet the statutory requirements towards minimizing
adverse environmental impacts. Moreover, EMP suggests the project
proponent has to take specific control measures about gaseous
emissions, liquid effluent discharges, noise generation, disposal of
generated solid waste, etc.
5.5.1 Management of Air Quality
The stack emissions control shall be interlocked with the combustion
process and designed control efficiency attained at least 99% times.
The tripping of ESP shall be minimized by following all the installation

from coal yard will be reduced by sprinkling water. Coal milling &
grinding operations will be provided with bag dust collectors of high
efficiency and performance to reduce emissions of coal dust.
Maintenance and monitoring of this equipment will be strictly
adhered to as per the preventive maintenance schedule of the plant.
Particulate matters, Sulphur Dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen and fugitive
dust have been identified as major air pollutants emitted from the
proposed thermal power plant. It is observed that the baseline
ambient air quality levels in the proposed plant area are well within
the standards stipulated under the EPA, 86. However, to mitigate the
air pollution coursed due to operations of the power plant following
measures will be taken by the project proponent.
•
High efficiency Electro Static Precipitator will be provided to
control the particulate matter emission in the form of fly ash from
boilers
•
To reduce the emissions of SO2, around 1-2% of lumps of Calcium
carbonate will be added with coal/lignite.
•
SO2 emissions will be widely dispersed by providing an adequate
stack height of 85 m as per the regulation in the EPA, 1986.
•
The proposed plant will utilize Low NOx coal burners to reduce

also along the roads to mitigate fugitive & transport dust emission
All guidelines and norms of the power plant set forth by the
regulatory
agencies
will
be
continuously
adhered
to
by
the
management. Necessary consents and authorization under the
respective acts will be maintained by the plant O & M department in
consultation with top management.
5.5.2 AIR QUALITY MONITORING
It is proposed to monitor particulate emission, SO2 & NOx regularly
on monthly basis. The stack monitoring will be utilized to keep a
check on the performance of Electrostatic Precipitators, which will be
interlocked with the operation of boiler.
In addition to this, the concentration of RSPM/SPM & levels of SO2
and NOx in the ambient air should be monitored as per the direction
of the Gujarat Pollution Control Board.
5.5.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT
The mitigative measures for minimizing the impacts on water
environment in general includes following:
-
Minimization of water use
-
Segregation and collection philosophy for effluent to minimize
waste generation and facilitate treatment as well as recycle.

development and maintain around 60000 m2 developed greenbelt.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
5-7
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
Thus, total greenbelt after expansion will be around 80000 m2. The
green belt developed by planting drought resistant trees suitable for
local climate. Moreover, avenue trees will be planted all along the
roads and local species are recommended to plant. The density of
tree will be 1000 tree per acres i.e. 1tree per 4 sqm to minimize the
effect of air and noise pollution and to improve overall environment.
Rainbow will be developed a green belt of about 2000 trees in and
around of plant and maintain 6000 trees which already developed by
rainbow. These trees are planted in open and close patches in
multiple rows.
The plantation of trees in and around the company are meant mainly
to reduce air pollution caused by factory emissions, to absorb sound,
to prevent soil erosion and to maintain aesthetic value for healthy
living. For the development of green belt plants having simple big
leaves are preferred to the plants. Trees that are native of this area
will be been chosen for plantation.
The plants are suitable for green belt development based on gaseous
exchange capacity of foliage which is ascertained by the following
characteristics:-
The plant should be fast growing.
It should have thick canopy cover.
-
It should be perennial and evergreen.
-
It should have large leaf area index.
-
It should be indigenous.
-
It should be efficient in absorbing pollutants without significant
effects on plant growth.
The objectives of the industrial greenbelt are to improve the microenvironment and create environmental awareness among the local
people. The success depends on the type of land available and
selection of suitable tree species for pollution control. Selection of
tree species for industrial areas is influenced by the nature of
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
5-8
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
industry. The objective should be to ensure a green cover tolerating
pollutant gases and solid particulates present in the atmosphere. It is
also advisable to select suitable tree species and adopt simple
techniques which require minimum investment and care.
Schedule of greenbelt development
Rainbow proposed to undertake plantation 2000 saplings (@1000
saplings per year for five year.) in the areas of 20000 m2 during
ensuring five years period. The saplings will be properly watered and
manured. Two person is already deputed for maintenance of the

5.11 SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The impact zone of Rainbow papers will be witnessing changes in the
Social conditions & Economic opportunities. Thus, following general
guidelines are given to proponents for protection of workmen likely to
be engaged from the nearby villages.
Employment and Social Insurance
Industry
should
ensure
that
every
permanent
worker
has
employment security benefits. They should be covered by proper
insurance/other schemes such as benefits in case of injury, sickness,
temporary and permanent disability through workers' compensation
in
the
event
of
occupational
accidents
and
diseases,
and
compensation for survivors in the event of work-related death, to all
workers in the industry, irrespective of their employment status.
Working Hours
Industry should have reasonable working hours that should not
exceed the number of hours prescribed by India’s laws and
regulations. Working hours should be fixed to provide adequate
periods of rest. There should be short break during working hours,
depending on the nature of job to recover their vigilance and physical
fitness; sufficient breaks for meals; daily or nightly rest; and weekly
rest. The workers should be paid as per the Minimum Wages Act.
They are not generally encouraged to work for more than 48 hours in
a week. If they are to work, adequate incentives should be provided
to them.
Drinking Water
Proposed power plant should have an adequate supply of drinking
water. A supply of drinking water should never be connected to a
supply of water that is unfit to drink. Workers should not be allowed
to wash their cloths or take their bath adjacent to drinking water
sources.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
5-14
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd - Ahmedabad
Sanitary and washing facilities
The workers should be provided with toilet and bathroom facilities.
Adequate bathing/washing facilities be provided to enable workers to
meet personal hygiene Washing facilities should be conveniently
accessible but situated so that they are not themselves exposed to
contamination from the workplace.
Lighting
Where natural lighting is not adequate to ensure safe working
conditions, and during night time, adequate and suitable lighting,
including portable lighting should be provided at every workplace.
To assess the status of environment during the plant operation,
crucial environmental parameters should be monitored on regular
basis. Any deterioration in environmental status due to the plant
operation could be judged by comparing with the base line condition
of environment. Importance of monitoring lies in the fact, that it
determines the efficiency of the different pollution controlling
measures. So, monitoring is as important as to control the pollution.
Air Pollution Aspects
As per the guideline of Central Pollution Control Board the ambient
air quality and stack emission should be monitored at least once in a
month. Other conditions with reference to air pollution as stipulated
in the consent condition of SPCB and MoEF should be monitored.

Quantitative Risk Assessment
6.1
Introduction
The risk assessment studies have been conducted for identification of
hazards, to calculate damage distances and to spell out risk
mitigation measures.
M/s. Rainbow Papers Limited is the existing unit, involved in
manufacturing of Manufacturing of Kraft Paper, Duplex paper, Poster
paper and News Print paper-14000 TPM and having Captive Power
Generation facilities with rated capacity of 15 MW. Now, management
is envisaging increasing power generation capacity to 50 MW by
adding 35 MW in two phases (20 MW power generation in Phase-1 &
15 MW power generation in Phase-2) to fulfill the present market
demands on same process route. The management is engaged in
manufacturing activities since last long time and has a wide
experience in the similar field.
Scope of Study
The scope of work is to carry out risk analysis for the proposed
expansion of plant covering all the hazards associated with various
process operations, handling of hazardous chemicals and associated
activities carried out at any facility. The objective of risk analysis is to
further direct greater depth of analysis and suggest remedial
measures for hazard potential areas.
6.1.1 Study Objective
The objective of the risk analysis includes the following:
•
Identification of hazards
•
Selection of credible scenarios
•
Consequences Analysis of selected accidents scenarios
•
Risk Mitigation Measures
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited

6.1.2 The Study Approach
The risk assessment study broadly comprised of the following steps:
•
System Description
•
Identification of Hazards
•
Selection of Credible Accident Scenarios
•
Consequence Analysis
•
Risk Mitigation Measures
6.1.3 System Description
This step comprised the compilation of the location, design and
operational information needed for the risk analysis.
6.1.4 Identification of Hazards
Hazards associated with the plant after expansion was identified.
Summary of relevant accident cases was reviewed.
6.1.5 Risk Reduction Measures
Based on hazard identification and consequence analysis, risk
reduction measures were suggested to reduce risk and enhance
safety at the plant.
6.2
Probable Hazards & Risk
Hazard identification and risk assessment is carried out through
careful study of plant process. Following this various scenarios by
which an accident can occur are then determined. Concurrent study
of both probability and the consequences of an accident are carried
out and the final risk assessment is made. Since chemical & fuel
posses’
different
kind
of
hazard,
both
have
been
separately
associated. The chemicals poses more of Occupational Health Hazard,
while fuel posses more of safety / accidental hazards.
6.3
Hazardous Identification
•
Areas where large quantities of chemicals are stored.
•
Areas where operating temperatures or pressures could be
particularly high.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-2
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
•
Areas where flammable inventories exist.
•
Specific operations associated with the high failure probability
like tanker loading / unloading operations.
•
Areas where passive or active safety systems are associated
with a generally high failure rate.
At the site except coal and paper, no other combustibles will be
handled. Coal will be stored in coal stockpiles.
In the power plant, type of likely hazards and possible areas where
this can occur are as follows:
Area of the plant
Type of Hazard
Coal Stock Yard
Fire
Coal Crushers
Fire
Coal Hoppers / bunkers
Fire
Coal conveying system
Fire
Chlorine dosing point(s)
Toxic release
Acid/Alkali tanks
Corrosive liquids and fumes release
Transformers / cables etc.
Fire
Other events giving rise to emergencies being natural hazards, war,
sabotage etc.
6.4
METHODOLOGY, APPROACH AND DAMAGE CRITERIA FOR RISK
ASSESSMENT
Consequence analysis is that part of risk analysis, which considers
individual failure cases and the damage, caused by each failure case.
It is done to predict the outcome of potentially serious hazardous
accidents to man and material in and around the plant boundary
limits. The advantages of carrying out consequence analysis are
given below:
•
To improve plant layout (for new projects and for expansion of
existing one)
•
To meet statutory requirements
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-3
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
•
Protection of public in the nearby areas (no residential /
inhabited nearby)
•
Disaster management planning
•
Training tool
The findings of a consequence analysis provide information about
hazardous effects resulting from an accident scenario. In addition,
Methods for dealing with possible catastrophic events are also
provided.
6.4.1 Failure Case Identification and Definition
The first stage in any risk assessment study is to identify the
potential event that could result in the release of the hazardous
material from its normal containment. This is achieved by a
systematic review of the facilities together with an effective screening
process.
Chemical hazards are generally considered to be of three types:
1. Flammable/ explosive
2. Reactive
3. Toxic
At the site, combustibles coal is handled.
Potential accidents associated with the plant, section of the plant or
pipeline can be divided into two categories:
1. There is a possibility of failure associated with each mechanical
component of the facility (vessels, pipes, pumps or compressors).
There are generic failures and can be caused by such mechanisms
as
corrosion,
vibration
or
external
impact
(mechanical
or
overpressure). A small event (such as a leak) may escalate to a
bigger event, by itself causing a larger failure.
2. There is also a likelihood of failures caused by specific operating
circumstances. The prime example of this is human error.
However, it can also include other accidents due, for example, to
runaway reaction or the possibility of ignition of leaking tank
gases / vapours by hot work in the vicinity.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-4
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
The first category of accident requires consideration of each
component under its normal operating conditions. Both categories
may also require consideration of some components under abnormal
conditions. Thus, an essential first stage in failure case identification
of such a facility is therefore identifying every significant mechanical
component in the plant which could fail, together with its operating
conditions, contents and inventory.
The range of possible releases for a given component covers a wide
spectrum, from a pinhole leak up to a catastrophic rupture (of a
vessel) or full bore rupture (of a pipe). It is both time-consuming and
unnecessary
to
consider
every
part
of
the
range;
instead,
representative failure cases are generated. For a given component
these should represent fully both the range of possible releases and
their total frequency.
In general, the following typical types of failures are considered:
For Vessel/storage tank
•
Rupture (full bore)
•
Large leaks (20% equivalent to pipe diameter)
•
Medium and Small leaks (due to corrosion, impact and other such
cases).
For pipelines
• Full bore rupture
• Large, Medium and Small leaks
Failures of other components are dealt with in a similar manner
giving releases which are representative of accidents to that type of
component.
For each identified failure case, the appropriate data required to
define that case is fed into the software. When the appropriate inputs
are defined, software calculates the source terms of each release,
such as the release rate, release velocity, release phase and drop
size. These source term parameters then become inputs to the
consequence modelling.

6.5
Maximum Credible Accident Scenarios
As a part of risk assessment study, maximum credible accident
analysis (MCA) is carried out to determine the maximum loss
scenarios. It is an eventuality, which is possible and will have
maximum consequential distances for the particular hazardous
chemicals under evaluation.
The selection of the accident scenarios is based on the engineering
and professional judgment, accident descriptions of the past in
similar type of plants & the expertise in risk analysis studies.
The MCLS gives the worst possible failure scenarios, which takes into
account the maximum inventory that can get released at the time of
such a failure.
The combustible materials handled in the plant are Diesel and coal.
All the MCLS identified involve diesel and the most likely hazard is
pool fire.
It is assumed that the spilled liquid, in the event of nozzle failure or
hose rupture, has encountered a source of ignition, resulting in fire.
In order to prevent and control such incidences the tanks and
unloading bay will be equipped with various fire protection systems.
i.e. fire hydrant network, portable fire extinguishers etc. Also,
unloading operation will be continuously monitored.
6.5.1 Methodology for Selection of Accident Scenarios
In this study, following steps were followed for scenario selection for
risk analysis study:
•
The hazardous materials to be handled at the plant and the
associated hazards were identified and assessed.
•
Operating and storage conditions of handling and storage of
hazardous materials were studied.
•
An assessment was made of what inventories can get released
accidentally.
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-6
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
•
Release rates were calculated considering deferent cases. For
further analysis of selected release sources, representative
failure modes and failure sizes were identified.
6.6
DISPERSION MODELS
Dispersion modeling aims at estimating the distances likely to be
affected due to release of certain quantity of toxic or flammable gas
within an acceptable concentration limit. Depending upon the
properties of the material released and the release conditions, dense
gas dispersion, neutral gas dispersion or a buoyant gas release
model is used for estimating the affected areas. Both the models
describe the behaviour of material subsequent to its release in the
predominant downwind direction, at a particular wind speed and at
the existing meteorological conditions. It should be noted that the
release rate would depend on release conditions (temperature and
pressure), the release/failure point, intervention time, the release
area and other factors.
Pool fires
Pool fires are common fire types resulting from fires over pool of
liquid. These generally tend to be localized in effect and are of
concern mainly in establishing the potential for domino effects and

Damage Criteria
The material released due to tank or pipeline failure will form a liquid
pool. If the pool encounters an ignition source, it would result in a
pool fire. Damage effects due to thermal radiation of varying

6.7
RECOMMENDATIONS
Dust Suppression and Control
Coal dust generated due to coal handling constitutes a fire and
explosion hazard that should be controlled by one or more of the
following methods:
a.
Dust collection system (ESP)
b.
Dust suppression system (water spray)
c.
Open-air construction
Where dust collection or suppression systems are installed to prevent
dust concentration, appropriate electrical and mechanical interlocks
should be provided to prevent the operation of coal handling systems
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-9
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
prior to the starting and sustained operations of the dust control
equipment.
a. Dust suppression systems usually consist of spray systems using
water and/or surfactants to reduce the dust generation of coal
handling operations.
The sprays are normally applied at or near
those locations where the coal is transferred from one conveyor to
another.
b. Dust collection hoppers should be emptied prior to shutting down
dust removal systems to reduce the likelihood of collector fires
originating from spontaneous heating in the dust hopper.
c. High level detection with annunciator alarms should be provided for
the dust hoppers.
Handling coal fires
When fire occurs, and its location and extent have been determined,
the best procedure is to dig out and remove the coal in the heated
zone as promptly as possible. Drench the hot coal with water as it is
exposed. During a coal fire, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are
formed. It is recommended that canister/cartridge for CO2 be
provided to fire fighting personnel.
Coal handling system
a. All conveyors within 6 ft-8 in. (2 m) of a floor or walkway surface
must have alternate passageways.
b. Elevated conveyors should have access platforms or walkways on
one or both sides. Handrails should be 42 in. (1m) high with an
intermediate rail, and platforms should have 4 in. (10 cm) toe
boards. Flooring should be of chequered plate or other non-slip
surface, particularly on sloping walkways.
c. Crossovers or underpasses with proper safeguards should be
provided for passage over or under all conveyors. Crossing over or
under conveyors, except where safe passageways are provided,
should be prohibited. Riding on a conveyor should be absolutely
forbidden.
d. Pull cord should be provided along the conveyor for emergency
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-10
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
shutdown.
Operating procedures
a. The “start” button or switch for a conveyor should be located so that
the operator can see as much of the conveyor as possible. If the
conveyor passes through a floor or wall, each area should be
equipped with starting and stopping devices, and the simultaneous
operation of all starting buttons or switches should be required to
start the conveyor. These start-stop devices should be marked
clearly, and the area about them must be kept free of obstruction so
they can be seen and reached easily. Electrical or mechanical
interlocking devices (or both types) should be provided which will
automatically stop a conveyor, when the feeds (another conveyor,
bin, hopper, or chute), has been stopped or is blocked, so that it
cannot receive additional loads.
b. If two or more conveyors operate in series, controls should be
designed so that, if one conveyor is stopped, all conveyors feeding it
are stopped also.
c. Emergency stop devices should be approximately located along
walkways by the conveyor. Alternatively, a good solution is to have
a lever-operated emergency stop device at the tail end of the
conveyor, with a strong cord or wire strung on each side of the
conveyor for its entire length. A pull on the cord or wire will stop the
conveyor.
d. On conveyors, where there is a possibility of reversing or running
away, anti -runaway, a backstop device can be provided on the
conveyor track so that the load (or conveyor parts) cannot slide or
fall.
e. Fire on electrical motors providing motive power to the belts is
another probability.
The motor may be over-loaded by excessive
friction within the motor itself, obstruction in the driven belt, over
loading the belt beyond the capacity of the motor etc.
If any of
these conditions cause overloading of the motor, heating will
increase considerably resulting in the breakdown of insulation,
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-11
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
melted soldered connections or bearings burning out. To safeguard
the motor, it is recommended that overload relay opening circuit to
the motor be frequently checked and should be maintained in a
good working condition. In addition to the overload protection
customarily provided for electric motors, there should be an
overload device designed to protect the conveyor and mechanical
drive parts. In the event of an overload, the device must shut off the
electric power quickly, disconnect the conveyor or drive parts from
the motive power, or limit the applied torque.
f.
The loading and discharge points of a conveyor carrying material in
fine or powdered form should be covered with exhaust hoods and
should have good general ventilation, to prevent the formation of
dust clouds. Dust removal must be carried out periodically.
g. Persons working near or on conveyors should wear tight fitting
clothing that cannot get caught in moving parts. Safety shoes are
recommended. If the conveyor galleries are dusty, goggles and, if
necessary, respirators should be worn.
h. Such belts should be protected by automatic system of sprinklers or
water spray all the way. The belt drive could be interlocked with the
sprinkler system to effect a simultaneous shutdown.
i.
To help earthing of static charges from belt conveyors, tinsel or
needle point static collectors can be placed close to the out-running
sides of the drive pulleys and idlers which along with the shafting
can be grounded through carbon or bronze brushes running on the
shaft.
j.
Wherever the workers have access to the conveyor it should be
possible to switch off the installation by means of an emergency
pull-cord which follow the total route of the conveyor.
The
emergency stop device should be so connected that the installation
cannot be restarted from another location except the control room.
The overhead conveyor belt should have a collecting tray throughout
the route or at least at the road crossings to collect dropping.
k. Electro magnets should be installed to remove iron pieces that have
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-12
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
been carried over along with the coal cargo.
Additional Precautions for Coal Conveyors
Each conveyor system should be arranged to automatically shut off
driving power in the event of belt slowdown of greater than 20 percent
or misalignment of belts. In addition, a complete belt interlock
shutdown system should be provided so that, if any conveyor stops, the
power to all conveyor systems feeding that belt would be shut down
automatically.
Coal Conveying and Handling Structures
Coal conveying and handling structures and supports should be of noncombustible construction.
Fire Protection
a. Automatic sprinkler or water spray systems should be provided for
coal handling structures.
Sprinkler systems should be designed
for a minimum of 0.25 gpm per sq.ft. (0.17 L/sec-m2).
b. If a sprinkler system is used to protect the coal conveyor,
particular care must be exercised in locating closed sprinkler
heads so that they will be in the path of the heat produced by the
fire and still be in a position to provide good coverage of all belt
surfaces along the conveyor.
c. Actuation of water spray or sprinkler systems should shut down
the conveyor belt involved and all conveyor belts feeding the
involved belt.
d. Dust collectors fans should automatically shut down along with
other related equipment upon detection of fire.
e. Draft barriers installed at the end and midpoints of enclosed
conveyors should be considered in the fire risk evaluation. Draft
barrier will reduce the response time of installed automatic
sprinkler or detection systems and minimize the chimney effects
in the event of fire.
f. Static electricity hazards should be minimized by the permanent
bonding and grounding of all equipment, including duct work,
conveyor drive belts, pulley, idlers, take-up reels, motor drives,
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
6-13

CHAPTER-7
Onsite Disaster Management Plan
7.1
INTRODUCTION
An emergency is said to have arisen when operators in the plant are
not able to cope with a potential hazardous situation i.e. loss of
control of an incident causes the plant to go beyond its normal
operating conditions, thus creating danger. When such an emergency
evolves, chain of events which affect the normal working within the
factory area and/or which, may cause injuries, loss of life, substantial
damage to property and environment both inside and around the
factory take place and a DISASTER is said to have occurred.
M/s.
Rainbow
Papers
Ltd.
is
the
existing
unit
involved
in
manufacturing of Kraft Paper, Duplex paper, poster paper and News
Print paper-14000 TPM and having Captive power generation facilities
with rated capacity of 15 MW and now proposes to increase Power
generation capacity to 50 MW by adding 35 MW in two phases (20
MW power generation in Phase-1 & 15 MW power generation in
Phase-2).
As described in previous chapter-6, the risk assessment studies have
been conducted for identification of hazards, to calculate damage
distances and to spell out risk mitigation measures.
Despite of our best efforts in the way of managing an emergency
situation lies in the prevention of the any risk hazards from the
manufacturing process or material handling, things can go wrong.
Therefore, it is essential to plan and develop the support system,
which will be required in case an emergency arises.

THE AVAILABILITY, ORGANIZATION AND UTILIZATION OF
RESOURCES AND FACILITIES FOR EMERGENCIES
In order to maintain an emergency response capability, certain
facilities must be kept in a state of readiness and sufficient supplies
and equipment must be available. In some cases, it may be
impossible to maintain all of the equipment necessary for all possible
emergencies. In these cases, agreements have to be made with
neighboring facilities to provide additional support as and when
necessary.
Where the local police or private agencies may be called upon, such
as volunteer fire companies and ambulance associations, agreements
have to be developed ahead of time. Emergency hardware can be
classified according to its use during the response operations.
Typical examples are:
- Emergency operation centers
- Communication equipment
- Alarm system
- Personal protection equipment
- Fire fighting facilities, equipment and supplies
- Spill and vapor release control equipment and supplies
- Medical facilities, equipment and supplies
- Monitoring systems
- A media Center
- Transportation system
- Security and access control equipment
Some of these resources will also be available in the local
municipalities. It is the responsibility of the plant management to
ensure that the appropriate equipments and materials are available
to respond to their very hazard-specific emergencies at the facilities,
independently from external resources. These resources can be
extremely valuable, but should be used mainly in support of the main
REIA Study for Captive Power plant of Rainbow Papers Limited
7-4
San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. - Ahmedabad
response actions that the facility personnel will have to implement in
case of a serious emergency.
In any case, the availability of resources within the community must
be determined before hand, so that these resources can be
mobilized, if the time comes to do so.
